Advance is a great opportunity for brotherhood.

This event is about connecting with other men, and growing in our relationship to God. Faith was not designed to be done in isolation, we need to be connected to others. That’s what this day is about. We will be outdoors, but that doesn’t mean you have to be an outdoorsman. There will be some physical activity, but that doesn’t mean you have to be an athlete. There will be a lot of food and camp fires, because that’s the best recipe for good conversations. This event is designed for men to laugh, compete, create real friendships, and connect to God.

Frequently Asked Questions

Perfect! You’ll make friends in no time. Everyone will be assigned to a group with other guys. You’ll do a large portion of the event with your group: get outfitted, make food, compete, and solve problems. You are going to be good friends with your group by the time this is over.
You will be sent and info pack covering everything; but it’s just one day, so you don’t need much. Bring a Bible, some paper, and a pen. If you like to fish, bring a pole. If you get anxiety around people you don’t know, bring a friend. We have everything else you will need.
Check in begins at 8 a.m. Saturday the 17th, and we will be done around 3 p.m.
You must be 16 years or older. Anyone under 16 has to attend with an adult.
Dude, it’s not even a full day. Just commit to being there.
Then we’ll probably get wet. It’ll be a little inconvenient, but we’ll look so tough in the event pictures — and this year we do have some indoor space to do some other things if necessary.
Don’t worry, we have that taken care of with Camp Illiana.
If you want to pay for someone else to attend, you are certainly allowed. In fact, that may be the best way to get someone to attend with you. However, everybody has to sign the waiver, so they will have to do that part themselves. Also, it is non-refundable, so if your buddy backs out at the last minute, take it up with him.
Tickets are non-refundable. If you cancel, we’ll give your spot to someone else.
Don’t let the money hold you back. Contact your Campus Minister for details.
